Cody James Austin, 21, was arrested about 3:30 a.m. Saturday after he led police on a pursuit that began in the 2300 block of South Oklahoma 97 in Sand Springs, an arrest report says.
Police tried to stop the vehicle, but Austin sped away, they said. He was captured in the 500 block of North Grant Avenue. A woman, a 3-year-old boy and a 2-month-old infant were in Austin's vehicle, the report says.
